(RADIATOR) proxy depends on UID and src port?

[Frank Danielson]

It sounds like you are describing behaviour that the
ServerHasBrokenPortNumbers directive was designed to address. There has been
quite some thought put into this scenario and Radiator addresses using the
aformentioned directive and also through an improved scheme controlled by
the UseExtendedIds directive that also solves some other problems related to
high volume proxying.

If you are curious you could search the mailing list archives for those
directives to find more background information.

Subject: (RADIATOR) proxy depends on UID and src port?



hi, sorry to continue from the previous post but here is a more specific
question:

When a radius proxy, such as an appropriately configured radiator, forwards
(proxies) a radius request to a target, the target sees a radius request
from the proxy .. it sees its IP address, the source port, and the UID of
the radius request.

now, when the radius target forms a reply/responce, does it address it to
that source port on the proxy server?

if i run multiple proxies on a server, they will get the correct replies if
	1. they send the proxied requests to the targets from different src
udp ports
	2. if the targets actually respond to these src udp ports, and not a
default like 1645

in people's experience, is the above a reasonable assumption or are there
common cases of radius target servers (not determined, and heterogeneous)
which do not behave correctly/usefully.
